To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WLADYSLAW KozroL,

useful Improvements in Toilets, of which the following is aspecification.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of av depositreceptacle normally closed but adapted for automatic openingwhenever'required, the structure being simple and inexpensive tomanufacture and sanitary in the use thereof.

A further object of the invention is to provide a toilet that may beportable for ready installation wherever desired such as for shoporhousehold use, automatic closing means being provided rendering thedevice sanitary in its normal arrangement and ready for immediate use,the exterior appearance of the entire structure being that of a chest orcabinet of any desired form.

With these general objects in view, the invention consists in thecombination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described inconnection with the accompanying drawings and in which like referencecharacters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings,

Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the inventionin its closed position,

Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view thereof taken upon lineII-II of Fig. 1,

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 with the lid removed,

Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the invention with the lid open,

Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view taken upon line VV of Fig. 1,

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a hinge portion of one of the closureplates, and

Fig. 7 is a sectional view of one of the spring mounting means employedwith the seat.

Referring more in detail to the drawings, my invention comprises acabinet 10 having an opening 11 in the front side thereof adapted forthe sliding reception of a tray 12 within the cabinet consumingsubstantially one-half of the interior thereof. The top 13 of thecabinet 10 is provided with a circular central opening 14 having anannular seat 15 mounted for vertical shifting through said opening andsupported in the manner hereinafter set forth with dependlng tubularguides 16 slidably mounted through openings 17 in inwardly projectingarms 18' carried by the opposite sides 19 of the cabinet 10. I

A rectangular lid or cover 20 is hinged as at 21 at the rear of thecabinet 10 for closing upon the top 13 thereof overlying the seat 15.'ihe paper holder 22 is carried by the lid 20 for holding papers 23passing through a slot 24: in the lid 20 adjacent the hinged end of thelid.

Inwardly projecting ledges 25 are provided in the cabinet 10 pro ectingfrom the sides 19 above the level of the tray 12, each of said ledgeshavmg an elongated cover plate 26 trunnioned to its inner edge by apintle 27, the plates 26 being adapted for normally closing by reason oftheir own weight for resting at their opposite ends upon inwardlyextending lugs 28 centrally carried bv the end walls of the cabinet 10.An upright rod 29 downwardly projects within each of the guides 16 andsecured to the seat 15, the lower ends of the rods 29 being looselypivoted by a pin and slot connection 30 with angularly projecting ears31 of the plates 26.

A spring 32 encircles each rod 29, the upper ends of said springs beingseated within the guides 16 while the lower ends of the springs 32 areseated upon inwardly extending supports 33 carried by the cabinet sides19 beneath the arms 18. The invention. is normally positioned asillustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings and it will be evident that thelid 20 may be readily swung rearwardly upon its hinges 21 rendering theseat 15 ac cessible as illustrated in Fig. 4. The plates 26 are normallyclosed with the seat 15 in its elevated position by means of the springs32 and the weight of the said plates 26. By exerting pressure upon theseat 15, the seat is depressed against the action of the springs 82which lowers the rods 29 and opens the plate 26, the latter remainingOpen until the pressure upon the seat 15 is released. It will beunderstood that deposits may be made into the tray 12 whenever theplates 26 are in their elevated open positions with the seat 15depressed while upon releasing the pressure upon said seat, the plates26 are automatically closed as heretofore noted. The lid 20 may beclosed at will while the tray 12 preferably contains an antisepticsolution indicated at 34, the tray being read ily. removable forcleaning by means of handle 35 p n n end the eet- .r'lhedevice may beformed of any sultable material,

the tray 12 being preferably made of metal a while the cabinet 10 andseat 15 maybe formed of wood.

members carriedby the seat and extending downwardly through'the openingsin the upper brackets, ears carried by said plates at the hinged sides,rods freely extending through the bracket openings and connected attheir ends to the seat and ears,
